AMD Shows Dual Athlon

October 10, 2000 10:41 AM

Wee! after what seems to be like an eternity waiting, AMD is finally showing off a dual CPU system. Back when I was buying the Shack server I wanted one of these.. Here ya go:

AMD today reached a new milestone with the first public demonstration of a multiprocessor computer designed specifically to work with AMD processors. The demonstration, at the 2000 Microprocessor Forum, consisted of a computer powered by dual AMD Athlon(TM) processors, the AMD-760(TM) MP chipset, and next-generation Double Data Rate (DDR) memory.

I'll take 2 of those and some fries please, thanks.
